SUMMARY
A silver suit is not a superior body temperature decreaser compared to a mister of water. While silver is an excellent conductor of heat, the mist method utilizes convection, which is more effective for cooling. A silver suit would require a form-fitting design, sweat management, and radiating fins to enhance heat transfer. Ultimately, the combination of mist and a silver suit may provide some benefits, but the mist remains essential for effective cooling.
